Fazto.—The Author of this Tragedy, it seems, natnrally offended at the liberty taken by the Ma nagers of the Theatre, of representing his work without paying him the compliment of communi cating their intentions, and o ht,iining hi s sanc tion, as well as requesting his aid in such altera tions as might be necessary in a composition ori ginally designed for the closet, had been advised to apply to the Court for an injunction, but has relinquished the idea, unwilling to deprive the Pubic of what has become so popular, and is sup ported by such excellence iu the performance. — Miss SOMERVILLE, it appears, acted with tunic delicacy, and wrote an apology to the Author, intimating, that • when she undertook to perform the Heroine of the piece, she thought that his sanction bad been given for its re presentation. We hOpe this ungracious act on the f art of the Managers will, at least, operate as a warning,, and in any future Productions of taste, learning, and genius, like the present, not pre- Sntne to avail OP lllSelveS of theta wilbout permission. But, indeed, " the crime (as Sir Pep - Teazle says) carries the punishment along with it," for if the author of work which does him so much credit, bad . been treated with the requisite courtesy, he might have been tempted by the great success of the present piece, which was not designed for the Stage, to em ploy his geoins expressly for that purpose, an d consequently hare imrroved the taste of the Public, by the revival of that beautiful simplicity which apipiarsio the dramat is product ions of former and rut an end to those pedatiiic abortions, the temporary seccess of which ‘vas really ~tisgracc ii to the Public, ‘vhatevLr might have been the merit of the acting. iIECOPIIFICS REPORT .—Tl;csdAy tt,e Recottler made a Report to tilt- Pr . n,t•e urgent of 21 con victs . itit j er benten ce o f d ea th N ewg ,,te, w h e ry Iniliain Hate/mum, Charlotte Newmva, Mary .lnit James, asnl Julia :lila, %vcre. ortletcn tot execu tion on Tuesday uext the olhei . s we:e respited.

HIGHNESS GEORGE PRINCE OP WALES, REGENT OF THE. UNITED kINGDOX. " the Minister, Churchwardens, - Constable, Overseers, and Inhabitants of the Island of Portland, beg: leave most respectfully to oiler your Royal Highness our most heartfelt Condolence on the melancholy event sustaiued by the lamented decease of your Royal Highness's Daughter, the late Princess Charlotte of Saxe Cobourg. •` In common with the British people, who deeply bewail the loss of this amiable Princess, it may be allowed to us to indulge in agonizing grief—to us, who have witnessed those affable and endearing manners, those elegant attainments which adorned her bright character. `,` But when we looked forward to the period when, in the course of human events, she was to rule a mighty lEan pire, we contemplated them with feelings of the greatest sa tisfaction—but alas! our hopes have been disappointed. She, who a few days ago was full of life, of splendour and joy," young in years, rich in wisdom, inexpressibly cridca;, - eil to the best of husbands, a father's fondest hope, and nation's pride, has been suddenly taken from ns ; but let us not : arraign the ways of Providence. We humbly pray, however, that the same Divine Power, ;which, in its inscrutable de signs has brought down this heavy calamity, will support your Royal Highness under this severe trial, and we fervently hope, that your Royal Highness will long live to wield the Sceptre of these Realms, with the same- paternal solicitude I as have hitherto been experienced in your supreme Govern ( !Dent over a tree amid lOyal People." " TO HIS SEREN E HIGHNESS LEOPOLD GEORGE FRE.. DEttICK, PRINCE OF SAXE cosounG. We, the Minister, Churchwardens, Constable, Over seers, and Inhabitants of the_ island of Portland, must hum bly beg leave to entreat your 'Serene Highness to accept our heartfelt feelings of sorrow on the toss of your late illustri ous and beloved Consult ; a,;(1 we deeply regret that we, CAM.' not express our grievous sentiments, or enumerate those exalted virtues that adornedthe mind of Our ever to be la mented Princess, withunt increasing the poignancy of those feelings that must still agitate your bosom. " That your composure of mind and perfect health ma y soon be restored, and be enabled to bear with fortitude the dispensation of Providence that haS thus emerged your Serene lirgintess in deep affliction, is the fel vent hope of his Majesty's Loyal Subject , oftbe island of Portland.'? ANECDOTE. — At a Suiree of an English Lady a short time ago, the conversation happened to turn upon a conceit given by the Duke of ;Vet,- LINOToN the night before, at which it was said there were a great number of people. Upon this a Frenchman exclainvd, " Oui, et il y acaient des Francais qui etaient asset LACH Es pour y alter." This was an expression which wotild have excited in dignation any where, hut espe s tially in an English house. As the remark was not atldresed to any person in paricalar, it could not be taken that notice Of which it deserved. NEWCASTLE ELECTIoN.—This Borough was Chown into considerable. bustle on Friday last, by the arrival of Roaettat WiLtIoT„ &q. the trusUC cessful Candidate in 1815 ; and in the course of the day a short notice was issued by the friends of the sitting Members, requesting them to with hold their promises from an " opposite interest." This was followed by an Address trout Sir J. Bouoae.v, in which he pledges - himself•to solicit the suffrages of the Burgesses at the Dissolution of Parliament. Yesterday an Address from Sir .louN -CHETwooe, the other sitting Member, was circulated. It appearing, however, that Mr. Me- MOT had not actually canvassed the freemen, the ferment subsided. ‘Ve merely state the. facts as they ofiCalTed, and pass over the surmises of a Co temporary, who could not speak front any thing like authority. —(Si(ffordshire Gazette, Feb. 12.) It is•said, that if Colonel MELLISH had lived to the General Election, it was his intention to have offered himself as a Candidate for the Bo rough of Boston, in Lincolnshire, and Mr. Eetis, of Gunbv Palk, now collies forward upon -the srinve • interest.

A NEw COMRT.—A luminary of this descrip tion was discovered at Marseilles, on the night of the 26th of December last, by M. PONS, in the constellation of the Swan. The Astronomers of Paris received advice of the event un the 21st of January, but as vet they have not been _able to discover it. The elevation of the moon above the horizen, the togs and rainy weather; all con tributed to render their observations fruitless. — The weatht r as well as the climate was touch more ' favourable at Marseilles. M. Blatiessain has communicated to the Boat d of Longitude several o bservations which he made relative to the New - Comet, from the 4th to the 18th of January inclu sively.—The, observations of M. Blanessain em brace, as yet, but ) 4 very small orbit. In the mean time, M. Nicullet has deduced a p iraholic'orbit, which, however, is but a first, and that but an imperfect approximation to the truth, though it goes towards ascertaining the position of the Co met, or very near that in which it will femain for some time ; but it results from these ob servations, that it will arrive at its nearest point of proximity to the Sun, on the 3.1 of Match, at a quarter after 11. o'clock, accoroing to the cOmputatiou time estahiishud at _the Onser.va tory of Paris.
